Now it's a December ship date? Not to complain too much, but I placed an order on Sept. 18 (probably too late). The original ship date Amazon gave was early October. Then it was moved down to early November.Today I got an e-mail asking me to approve of yet another new ship date: early December. Somewhat upsetting. These really ARE selling like hotcakes.

Try ordering it from apple.com or go to the store. Yes you have to pay tax, but you'll get it faster. I ordered mine on Oct 30. and am supposed to get it by Nov 7. It's a lot faster and you can get the free engraving

Well, yay, I got my Amazon order shipped, too. Bless 'em. I mean Apple HAS to beat them to the punch. But having one to gift with is very nice indeed.

Thanks Amazon! Mine just arrived half an hour ago (today, Nov. 6).Beats that frightening mid-December ship date initially expected.

I placed an order at Amazon for the new iPod Shuffle back in September as well.Last week, I got a notification about another delay, and it would be shipping November 16. I'm Amazon Prime, so I thought, I'd spring $3.99 to upgrade to one-day shipping so that at least I'd have it that weekend. When I did, Amazon told me it would ship on November 30. So I changed it back to 2-day, and it said it would ship in early December.Needless to say, I cancelled the order with Amazon. Placed an order on the Apple store late on Thursday November 2. Shipped from China on November 3. Arrived on Monday November 6.I love the new shuffle ... great for running and exercise ... I've already run over 20 miles with it!

I ordered my from Amazon last week and got it today, you should probably buy it soon if it is for Christmas but don't worry about not getting it until after then.

I was very upset that Amazon in fact did not get their dates straight (I called customer service when I got the update). I have ordered mine 10/3 with their promise to deliver by 10/19. Well, I was promised early december delivery date but got my shipment today. Thanks, Amazon. I also ordered one from apple.com, got it in 2 days with free shipping also (I did have to pay tax). One difference though, apple sent my merchandise in a very safe and sturdy packaging. well cushioned and supported. Amazon shipment came in a box with very minimal cushion. Items rattled when I picked it up from my mailbox. My consolation is that it came prior to Christmas.

Like you, I ordered over a month ago, and I got the same email for a December ship date. I went to the Apple store today to pick one up - no problems. However, I got home and received an email from Amazon saying they've shipped the order! What's up with that? Oh well...it'll make a good gift.

I just ordered mine from apple.com. Free shipping, free engraving, in stock.

I just checked bestbuy.com and they have the Shuffle for $75.99 and it's supposed to ship within one day. Costs a little more but you'd get it faster.

Here's exactly what support told me:"02:09 PM PDT Amazon(Amazon): I have check Your order has entered the shipping process and is currently being packed for delivery. not to worry about the ones your seeing sold out We have yours and it has already shipped.02:10 PM PDT Amazon(Amazon): Your package should be leaving our fulfillment center shortly; as soon as it has, we'll send you a confirmation e-mail."This was yesterday. Still no confirmation email and still no status update on the site.

I don't know why that happened. Amazon sells and ships these items directly. You can go into your amazon account and get the tracking number and that should tell you exactly when. Michael Spa Source

I have been waiting for approximately three weeks now and estimate was between September and October (I placed the order in July!) I don't know if that was because it was out of stock at the time I placed the order. However, I just went in to my account and "Updated Shipping Speed," by confirming that I want the standard 5-8 day free shipping and then I got an e-mail saying the updated estimated time for ship is now the end of August. Hopefully this is true, but you might want to try doing the same and hopefully will get an earlier ship date too!

amazon generally overshoots their estimated delivery dates. most times i've found things to arrive anywhere from 3-5 sooner than the projected time frame (if you used the super saver/standard shipping method). either way, i think the question has been answered

Just spoke with an Amazon rep and he seemed to know exactly what was going on. He said they expect to receive a batch of them at the end of September (and ship 1st week of October) and then another at the end of October (and ship the 1st week of November).I asked him about quantities ordered and if he thought they would be able to fill orders that were placed about 2 weeks ago. He said it is probable since Amazon's buyers have been watching the popularity of this product and likely ordered enough to cover the pre-orders.I feel better because the September date goes along with what another Amazon rep told me last week.

And now that I made a change by applying a gift certificate to my order, I lost my place in line, so my ship date has been bumped back to October 21-November 4. That's with an original purchase date of August 29. Still, for me, with the $75 GC, the wait is worth it. Otherwise, I agree with D. Trotter; if it absolutely, positively has to be there by a certain date.... good luck with that!

I ordered this item from Amazon on 4/28 and as of today, I am still waiting for it to ship. They have an estimated delivery date showing of 6/11, so I will let you know after then, but my advice is if you need this quickly - select a different source.

Ordered on the 10th. Expected to deliver on the 13th. Watching amazon for a status update. Would not be suprised if it got switched to backordered.Update: Amazon has updated the delivery date to the 16th today (This is on one-day shiping). Let the customer know the day it's expected to be delivered that it'll be delayed is quite dumb. Stay classy Amazon

This is the world at high-speed. From the internet to now travel. However, it seems Amazon.com isn't catching on to it. I myself placed an order on April 29th on a Wednesday and It's now the 5th of May the next Tuesday and my order is still "Not yet Shipped". This is reminding me of a few years back when I ordered a CD from Amazon.com that had initially said 6-9 days Delivery, It took 3 weeks. I've placed orders from other sites such as Newegg.com and ordered a fully customized computer from warehouses nationwide and I've received all applicable parts in under 4 days at the same time.

Interestingly, earlier today the Amazon page said "You may pre-order it now and we will deliver it to you when it arrives." This was after is was available for a day or two. Now they have added "This item has not yet been released" to the pre-order message. It sounds like Amazon broke a release date.

Good news! I just received word from Amazon that they started unloading the container today at about 7:30pm (!) PST. The crystals can now be ordered, however unfortuntely you'll see a note on the product page saying they won't be shipping until the 29th. In my previous experience with Amazon they are very conservative on their "ready to ship" projections, so chances are better than even they'll be able to ship sooner.Thanks again for your patience during this huge mess! Thanks for your support. I'm always here to help if you have any further questions or problems.Rickp.s. Just fyi there is another whole container only two weeks away now.......not going to let this one happen again! :-)r. Good news!

I wouldn't put too much into that response from Amazon. Right now they need to guarantee delivery on items for Christmas so if they aren't sure on a release date then they have to say it won't arrive by the 24th. The thing that worries me is that you can no longer pre-order it. That capability is gone as of today. The way they are handling this whole thing is weird.

yeh i spoke with amazon today and they said there is no update on shipping dates. they "dont know when they will receive the product". i emailed josh at asus and he said "Hi there, They have received their shipments I believe so it should be very soon." Whats up with amazon? i woulda paid the $399 + shipping elsewhere if i knew amazon was going to be lagging.
